Shire-March of Grimfells

The Shire March of Grimfells is a close knit organization that holds regular meetings throughout the month, so that our members can keep up on the latest projects, events, historical references, kingdom information, fighting and crafting skills, etc. Some of the meetings that are offered during the month include:

• Monthly Shire Meeting
• Fighter & Archery Practice
• Arts & Sciences Night
• Music Night

MONTHLY SHIRE MEETING

The shire holds a monthly meeting to discuss official kingdom and shire business, introduce new members to the locals, and discuss upcoming events and training available. Any changes to other upcoming meetings are discussed here as well, so if you want to keep track of what’s going on for the month, and you don’t want to rely on email, show up at the monthly meetings. Currently, the monthly meetings are being held at a local couple’s home, so if you want directions, a ride, or just to get in contact with them, make sure you sign up to the Grimfells Email Discussion List, and send a post, introducting yourself and what information you are searching for.

FIGHTER & ARCHERY PRACTICE

To keep up with your regular armored fighting and archery skills, you need to come to fighter practice.

During the Summer months Fighter Practice is held every Wednesday evening, at Agri Park (at the end of Garland Ave., and southeast of I-540). People start to arrive at 6pm and practice until dark.

During the Winter months, Fighter Practice is held at the middle school Rogers, AR. The Gym is just south of New Hope Road in Rogers, on 12th street.From 540, take the Pinnacle Parkway exit (exit 83) and head east. This is New Hope Road. Around 3 miles you will come to the light at 13th street. Go through the light, turn right at the first street, and foollow it till it ends. The gym is on your left.

From the south on 71b, go north into Rogers to New Hope (north of the old Daisy BB Gun factory). Turn left on New Hope, then turn left again on 12th street. Follow it till it ends. The gym is on your left. From the north on 71b, go south into Rogers to New Hope (there is a WalMart Neighborhood Market and an Arvest bank on this corner).

If you are not equipped, make sure someone knows you’re coming, and we can usually supply you with the basics you need to get started.
